The diner scene! I havent thought about that movie in awhile. I'm going to have to revisit that. I bet I wasnt older than 12 when I first watched that on vhs. Just the title alone is creepy af backing your minimalist take.I'm just settling down to watch The Hitcher again, one of my fav psychological thrillers of all time. Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Jason Leigh??? C'mon, now. I think Hauer was even better in this than in Blade Runner, and it is def one of Howell better roles. The movie is so minimalist, there is a quiet tension throughout, and a strange and fascinating intimacy between protagonist and villain right from the start. Highly recommended.
